Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will face Turkey in the knockout match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup which is to be held somewhere near October. No one would want him to get knocked out as it could be his last World Cup campaign of his career.

Other than Ronaldo, there are two more Portuguese in the formation – Bruno Fernandes and Joao Cancelo. But they are not as old as their captain so it will be inappropriate for them to retire after this World Cup.

In a recent incident, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has praised Anthony Elanga for his amazing gameplay and as Sweden prepare for their playoff against the Czech Republic in Stockholm.

“First time I met him, we were in the restaurant in the (United) training ground and he came up to me and he said, ‘you know my father’ and I was like, help me now because I don’t know who I’m talking to,” Ibrahimovic, who will miss the Czech match due to suspension, said.

“‘You played with my father Elanga’, and then everything clicked and I said ‘okay’, and it made me happy because I wasn’t the only Swedish one in Manchester, we had another Swedish player.”
